Alabama Company Average Stock Prices Up 325% Under Obama and the US Fed, After Being Down 51% Due to Financial Meltdown

I found 12 Alabama Headquartered Companies in Yahoo's superb Finance website with current Total Market Capitalizations of at least $100 mil and which also had their common stocks trading on each of the following three dates:

• On December 31, 2007 during President Bush's second term
• On March 6, 2009, very early in President Obama's first term, which was the lowest point for the US stock market due to the spillover effects resulting from the 2008 financial meltdown, and 
• also on today February 27, 2014

I also included below the 1 Alabama Company which were sold very recently.  That makes 13 Alabama Companies.

The historical stock prices of these companies were obtained from the following two excellent internet resources....  Google Finance and MarketWatch Big Charts.

These 13 Alabama Companies had their equally-company-weighted average stock market prices decline by a huge 51% from December 31, 2007 during President Bush's second Presidential term, to March 6, 2009, very early in President Obama's first term, which was the very lowest point for the overall stock market due to the spillover effects resulting from the disastrous 2008 Financial Meltdown.

But in the slightly less than five years since March 6, 2009, the equally-company-weighted average stock market prices of these same 13 Alabama Companies have increased by a very robust 325% through today February 27, 2014, led by Protective Life having its stock market price increase by 1,528% in the most recent 5 years.

To illustrate the strong operational performance of these 13 Alabama Companies, 12 of them had stock market price increases since March 6, 2009.

Alabama citizens should be very pleased with the strong performance of nearly all of their Alabama Companies during the Obama Administration.

Below here are the stock market prices of these 13 Alabama Companies on February 27, 2014, on March 6, 2009, and on December 31, 2007, along with the related % Changes for these two periods of time:
